   I am running the unofficial release of g++ 1.36 on a sun3 running Sprite.
   (This also happens with g++ 1.35 on a sun3 running Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.5)

   When compiling:

   main()
   {
       for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
       }
       for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
       }
   }

   The compiler complains:

   g++ -v t.cc

This is a bug in the language.  I have asked several times that the
semantics of `for' be fixed, but to no avail.  The reason given is
that it would ``break too much code''.  As I am writing this letter, I
am figuring out how to modify yet another piece of C++ code to deal
with the change in semantics of `protected'.
